awkward horizontal line

• Jun 4, 2022 - 10:22

Hi all,
At bars 22 and 23 of the attached score there is an horizontal line that I cannot highlight for me to check it with inspector and I don't know I to get rid of. Any help?
Thanks,
P.S. For your info, I don't seem to be able to upload the file with Mozilla Firefox even though Mozilla is last version.
I had to do it with Chrome.

I guess you dragged it (that line) off page. I can't check though currently, away from my computer.
If I'm correct, switch to continuous view, then you should be able to select and delete it.

Even in Continuous View I cannot get this line selected, so maybe your best bet is to save the file as MSCX (uncompressed). Then you can open the contents in a text editor and search for the anomaly.

By the way, you also need to fix some corruptions in the score

It's a melisma line attached to an empty lyric on last chord of beat 2.

The lyrics in this score are unfortunately extremely messed - lots of invisible or empty lyrics on notes (like this one) that should have lyrics at all. Also check out measures 32 and 35 - there is an empty lyric on the tied note that should not be there. Also bogus lyrics in the piano part in bar 46. The corruptions are going to cause problems as well. So I'd focus on fixing the corruptions and lyrics before going any further with this piece.
